Wednesday 25 November, Belfast:- Asda Northern Ireland and Active Communities Network revealed the details of a funding package close to £600,000 which, over the next three years, will support some of the most vulnerable and ‘at risk’ young people in the region.
The donation from the Asda Foundation – the largest provided to a local charity or group to date –extends Asda’s partnership with sport for development charity, Active Communities Network, and aims to support youth outreach into areas with high social deprivation, delivering clear progression pathways into citizenship and employment.
Active Communities Network has been operating in Northern Ireland since 2009 promoting personal, social and community development for young people through involvement in sport, physical activity, arts and culture. The partnership with Asda first began in early 2014 following an initial donation of £58,000 and was accompanied by a trial outreach programme in the areas of North and West Belfast - supported locally by both the Asda Shore Road and Asda Westwood stores.
The partnership has seen over 500 young people in Belfast engage with sport and youth programming to date, with many receiving accredited training and qualifications in citizenship and volunteering. Nearly a quarter of those who have participated in the programme have also gone on to access apprenticeship schemes and work placements.
As part of this new phase of activity, Active Communities Network will open hubs in Coleraine, Omagh and Portadown and work alongside the Community Life Champions (CLCs) at each of Asda’s 17 stores in NI* to run outreach programmes across the region. The Asda colleagues will undergo training enabling them to provide support by mentoring young people, shadowing them during sport and youth work as well as offering them work placement opportunities. It is expected that over 1,500 young people will engage with and be supported by this programme annually over the three years.
The announcement was made at an event held at Stormont in Belfast, hosted by the First Minister, Peter Robinson MLA and deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness MLA. Also in attendance were staff and coaches from Active Communities Network, colleagues and CLCs from Asda and young people aged 14-19 years old from North and West Belfast who have attended previous Asda Foundation and Active Communities Network sessions and gained certificates in cookery and nutrition as well as basic first aid in partnership with the British Heart Foundation.

About Naga Textiles and patterns
Each Naga tribe has a specific attire which is depicted by certain textile patterns and jewellery. The most important garment for the nagas is the shawl. Each Naga clan/tribe has their own pattern which they use to identify themselves. A study of thses different patterns is revealing eg cowries is some of the clothes indicate trade as Nagaland has no access to the sea or is nowhere close to it. A head mask indicated the headhunting practice which was the norm a few generations ago.
This is the path from the land toward the sea. The path is not officially wide enough to constitute acess, so planning permission would not be granted to build on the land unless one were allowed to access the land from the top, via the community center car park of from the side, by borrowing some cheap communal land.
There is a chance that one might be allowed to purchase a part of the field either side of this narrow track. The roadway has to be 4 meters wide in order to consitute sufficient access. This track is only 2 meters wide.
I am a big fan of the All Access Ship Tour and was glad these were running again when I was on the Anthem of the Seas. Here is the description from Royal Caribbean: "Get a behind-the-scenes look at what we do to create your best vacation ever. Join your friendly guide for an exclusive narrated tour onboard your ship. Start off in the dining room, where you'll find out what our crew does to get ready for every meal, plus try to set up a table yourself. Do you know where to place the water glass or soup spoon? Walk through the main galley to see how our delicious dishes are prepared, plus take a look at the provision area to see all of the ingredients we need to have on hand. It's a lot! Then step inside the engine control room, where we monitor the systems used throughout the ship. You'll also visit the ship's vast laundry facilities. See where anything from napkins, tablecloths and sheets to beach towels and the laundry you request gets cleaned and folded. Plus, you'll have a chance to stroll the I-95, the long corridor in the crew's area, named after the longest highway on the U.S. east coast. Then visit the environmental area and learn about our waste management program. Finish with a real treat - a visit to the Bridge for a tour of the ship's command center." On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayone, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
Access to treatment is a key part of national strategies to combat HIV/AIDS. Antiretrovirals can increase the length and quality of life, and the productivity of patients. Research in Uganda shows that poor people will use ARVs if the price is right and if a delivery system is place. It also shows that the price of brand-name drugs fell significantly only when generics entered the market. Generic competition, the use of the public-health safeguards in the TRIPS Agreement, and urgent funding for health-service delivery are essential parts of the fight against HIV/AIDS in developing countries such as Uganda.

A stack of Rig Mat Systems' access mats ready for shipment.
Rig Mat System's access mats are made from CLT, and are lighter, stronger, and more durable than their counter parts.
The hatch is a fairly snug fit - I can't imagine a crew in parachutes trying to escape from a plummeting aircraft.
We were a bit too ambitious with our API dreams originally. We're getting close to beginning some some limited alpha testing of a simple read-only API. Once we stabilize it and work out the kinks, we'll expand it to a wider audience.
Of course, read-only is only half the battle. We'll be working to add write access as well. We just decided to start small.
More importantly, this is just one of several big things that we're working on right now. It just happens to be the closest to prime-time.
The high school I went to; due to access to my aunt's condominium, I am afforded with this spectacular view of the campus. Pity it can't be a yearbook cover...
